“Her writing is a treasure house of gems.” —Washington Post Book World

“Beauty pageants, hi-tech motherhood, fat farms, game shows-nothing involved in shaping women’s expectations is immune from her scrutiny. Most of these stories shine with incisive edginess. Visionary, uncovering humor and horror.” —The New York Times Book Review on Weird Women, Wired Women

“Super-Size Me’ meets ‘Soylent Green.” —Entertaintment Weekly on Thinner Than Thou

“A clever what-if, Reed’s tale is provocative as well as amusing.” —People on Thinner Than Thou

“Health clubs replace houses of worship in Kit Reed’s not-so-science-fiction novel Thinner Than Thou.” —Vanity Fair on Thinner Than Thou

“Reed’s latest is an “if this continues” dystopia in the tradition of John Brunner’s The Sheep Look Up or Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Reed has a singular gift for this kind of Swiftian satire, and her book is as funny as it is outraged.” —San Francisco Chronicle on Thinner Than Thou

“Sink your teeth into this delicious story, a wild, irresistible ride through a not implausible dystopic future.” —M. G. Lord, New York Times bestselling author on Thinner Than Thou

“When a novel convincingly alters your perspective, it’s fair to call it a success. Thinner Than Thou reminds us how shallow beauty can be when it loses its context in body, mind and spirit.” —The Philadephia Inquirer

“This particular satire is Reed at her mordant best.

A timely, witty page-turner which tells us the truth about ourselves and our society while making us laugh aloud.” —Michael Moorcock on Thinner Than Thou
